The 9 institutes in our District got together in Hollingbourne Village Hall, with the chance to meet old friends and find out what was happening around the Institutes We also heard plans for the 100 birthday of the WI (in addition of course to HOLLINGBOURNE's own 90th Birthday in 2015)

The competition this year was for an Edible Necklace

There were some made of sweets, one of chillies, vegetables etc, and the best one of all was -

A necklace of wild strawberries. It stood out amongst all the others!

Who made it? - Hilary Lucette of course from Hollingbourne,

who always has good ideas and the ingenuity to carry them out.

Our speaker was Ray Spiller who played music and had a good line in old fashioned jokes. His music was from the 50's and 60's and brought back many happy memories of our youth.

Twelve of us set off from Hollingbourne in convoy, so as to qualify for a discounted group admisssion.

we arrived in bright sunshine in stark contrast to a very wet start to the day.

As we approached the house the path opened up into a lawned area where people sat picnicking whilst listening to live jazz music.

Surrounding this grassed area were numerous stalls selling various wares - from fruit liqueurs, flowers, butchery, crepes, cheese to paintings. Quite a few of us were tempted to part with our money.
Away from the popular events there were quiet corners to contemplate the beauty of the gardens.

After exploring we all met up in the tearoom where most of us indulged in a cream tea, or at the very least, tea and cake. An afternoon enjoyed by all.
